No matter how simple or complex your daily beauty routine is, cleansing is usually the first and most important step. However, if you’re someone who wears make-up daily, then a simple cleanser or face wash might not be sufficient to fully cleanse your skin. That’s where cleansing balms come into play. These are gentle yet hydrating and are designed to melt away your make-up, dirt, and grime without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Follow up with your favourite cleanser, and you’ll be left with clean, hydrated skin allowing the rest of your products to absorb much better.
Check out these incredible cleansing balms that deserve to be a part of your daily cleansing routine!

Forest Essentials Deep Moisture Balm Cleanser, ₹2,400
Infused with Avocado, Kokum, and Argan butters, this rich cleansing balm does an amazing job of removing make-up, sebum, and other impurities.

For stubborn make-up, we recommend using more than the usual amount of product and massaging it in for a little longer to thoroughly cleanse your skin.

This cleansing balm has a creamy, oil-based formula. It contains a unique blend of lightweight moringa seed oil and salicylic acid that help deep clean the skin, while grapefruit, pearl, and cherry blossom extracts deeply hydrate and restore your skin's moisture.
